I received the rifle, cleaned it, and lightly lubed it with Break Free from the outside. Action felt a little rough. Fired 20 rounds; no problems. Stopped and cleaned it as recommended. Reloaded same magazine. but immediately got failures to eject and failures to strip rounds up into the chamber. Removed bolt carrier; found moving parts in it needed lubing. Sprayed it down with Break Free, wiped it down, now works great! Followed rest of break-in procedure for 100 rounds, then cleaned it again and fired 20 more(all SS 109,62 grain). Wife even agrees this thing looks BAADDD, and she's not even into guns!

DPMS Panther Carbine Growls,
November 15, 2010

After the first 10 rounds down range she was hitting 1" groups and 100 yards on an open sight. Easy to use and hard to abuse the DPMS Panther takes a real world beating and comes back to repeat the original groupings after a couple of hundred rounds being hauled around in the rain and brush hunting for things to shoot at in the woods. You can buy a more expensive AR-15 type rifle and get much less than this one. A very economical varment rifle for all of the varments that bother your herd.Right from the box this baby rocks.

Fantastic AR platform, for beginners or pros alike,
November 15, 2010

I purchased this rifle a little while back from a gun show and have really enjoyed using it. With the stock barrel it's reasonably accurate for target practice, varmint hunting, or whatever else you may be wanting to do with a 16" barrel.
IMHO the stock iron sights kind of suck, but they get the job done. I'd also highly recommend springing for some nice teflon coated mags with magpul followers, as the stock mags will really love jamming up on you.
Good piece of kit, great price.
